Applied and Environmental Soil Science is a peer-reviewed open access journal in the field of soil science aimed at an international audience. Its coverage reflects the multidisciplinarity nature of soil science, and focuses on studies that take account of the dynamics and spatial heterogeneity of processes in soil. Basic studies of the physical, chemical, biochemical, and biological properties of soil, innovations in soil analysis, and the development of statistical tools will be published. Most papers will have a strong applied element. Papers will include experimental and field investigations, mathematical modelling, and occasional review articles.
Applied & Translational Genomics is a new open access biomedical journal providing a forum for publication and discussion of cutting edge research and new developments in applied and translational genomics, including information technologies that enable both advances in the field as well as the application of advances to clinical care and educational, ethical, economic, public health, citizen and policy issues pertinent to research advances. As such the Applied & Translational Genomics is a uniquely interdisciplinary journal. Further, it aims to publish new approaches to 'translational genomics', such as studies designed to probe the elasticity and dynamism of molecular processes. The Journal's mission is to enhance the knowledge, clinical adoption and discussion of applied and translational genomics worldwide. Its ethics mission is to enable global benefit sharing through the publication of articles, analyses and commentaries of researchers, clinicians, and patient populations situated throughout the world. The journal encourages submissions by authors in the developing world and to support their access to publishing, the Journal invites authors for whom processing fees represent a barrier, to contact the editor about our sliding fee scale policy.
